A Few Holiday Gifts for a Friend...or Yourself

I'm loving these dessert (or salad, appetizer, etc) plates from Anthropologie. I love their vibrant patterns and not only would look great on the table, but also on the wall. I've been searching for great plates to hang on the wall and these would add pops of color to my kitchen. Or, display them in your china cabinet using a plate stand. They are too pretty to hide in the cabinet. $12 each.

For someone who likes to jot down notes or thoughts, or to write daily this is a gorgeous journal, $28 at Anthropologie:

I've always loved these classic soap & lotion sets from Williams Sonoma. Buy a festive scent or go with another, such as my favorite- lime. Makes a great hostess gift, as well.

$29.95 and up for sets:

My favorite is the lime:

Once empty you can refill the dispensers and keep the metal container, too.

You can't go wrong with a candle from Bloomies. They always have a wide assortment of candles and are usually more elegant than your typical candle from Yankee or Bath & Body.
